I'm still really early in the game, but lack of Spotify is killing me.
Anyone know if it's likely to come in a later patch?

I'm gunna play some Nioh, so if anyone wants help with a boss lemme know.

So side-note, I beat the 2nd boss in Bloodborne and really think that people shouldn't compare these two. And by that I mean, there's so much worse/better in different areas, that we really have an apples and oranges scenario here. Though, I do prefer my oranges

I had so much more difficulty defeating Naomasa with a normal Katana than with a Dual Katana.
God of Wind is GOD.
Not really no. They're not even good fodders for soul matching because the rarer the equipment you use for material, the cheaper it would be.

That and Umi-Bozu are crap bosses. I hate that they're back to back areas, easily the worst part of the game IMO.

Start fighting a giant centipede, try to circle strafe around to his back (like I imagine everyone on the planet would) and his head does a sharp 180 and travels through his body to get to me...
This game sometimes...
GC is an awful and glitchy fight. I hate it the most out of all battles in the game.

I just got to second region on map. I'm really loving this game, here are some comments.
- It has taken me a really long time to get used to combat controls of this game. I still haven't used ki pulse that much. But I manage.
- Dabbled in magic + ninjutsu, but noticed I never use the items I get from those so I respecced and spent the stat points in other places instead
- It took me way too long to realize that instead of leaving all useless items on the ground, I can just pick them up & disassemble them at forge for all those crafting components I so crave.
- I started by using sword + spear combo, but I have now started to exclusively use the single-sword.
- Hardest fights so far (not in any order):
*
*
Especially in the second one I started doubting my choice of using sword only (I really dislike other weapons even though my secondary weapon [spear] has nice reach) but I found a nice tactic for it.
Sword fits my style of combining dodges and guards into hard-hitting counterattacks from high stance.

The warrior just can't stop himself from expending all of his ki if you just hug him, dodge behind him constantly and then hit him when he is out of ki.This way I could get sword medium-stance hits to stagger him & make him fall, then 1000 damage hit when he is down.

I could.

That is probably the biggest bullshit this game throws at you. It even looks awful.

NG+, have access to first 4 regions, so i guess anywhere there, wherever it's the fastest?
Not just smithing texts... I've been farming tongued youkai for over an hour, I just need ONE withered tongue... but all i get is useless tuff and ocassional divine fragments
I can also help you test but I'm not in NG+ yet. I assume it would also work in NG
I'm maybe ten hours in? I'm starting to slowly realize the game won't offer me much more than what I've already played.
What I've played is quite nice though, don't get me wrong. I'm missing a sense of discovery, a magical feeling almost, that I'm getting with conquereing other games in the same genre (by that I mean Soulsborne).
When you discover something hidden, it's still a random loot cache. It's not a new weapon you might find. It's more loot you probably already have too much of anyway.
The level design is generic. Not bad. Not good.
The bosses, so far, are generic.
It is starting to feel like a really excellent combat system put into an above average game. I saw that one of my PSN friends was playing Bloodborne, and I had a nostalgic feeling of wanting to experience that world again. And you see how I wrote that? Experiencing that world. Nigh is not a virtual world, it's a really video gamey game. You complete stages, you get rewards. It's not better or worse than the other, but when I look at it subjectively, and after the immersive worlds I have played, I find it to be a negative. Once I have completed Nioh, and I think i will because I am still having fun kicking ass, I doubt I will have the urge to get back into it's 'world'.

Sure. Let us know where. Completed all NG+ missions so wherever is fine.
Doubt we'll get it as people are saying it's a bug or something.
I don't think you can drop divine equipments in NG though
I'm dying right now in "A request from Ginchiyo" NG+ in between first shrine and the sentry

The one near the building, where there are 2 sentries and archer. ZackFair999
My chest and weapon are 320, although they are 320 through soul matching.
I should have tried forging a native 320 one, will probably do it later if this doesn't work

can you extend number of elixirs more then 8? i saw on yt some had 9?
Hentailover
Member
I got a few revs at first, none of them you, but now it's just empty for me there, even when I completely restart the mission
There is a ninjutsu skill which increases no of elixirs carried up till 11
If you are PSN friends and you fight each others revenants you automatically get 5 drops from the revenant. So def add each other to help out
Just playing in general with lots of bonuses on. Nothing really specific. The last region in NG+ drowns you in Amrita.
Yeah, restarted the mission a few times and now I don't see any revenants.
So on a "git gud" (i.e. difficulty) scale. How does this compare to the Soulsborne series?
If it's on the same level, I think I'll buy during the upcoming psn rebate week, but if it's significantly harder, I'm going to pass until a bigger sale.
Thanks in advance for replies.

Guess i am getting better at the game as well now. Defeated spider boss first try, no summon. Then the ice queen 3rd try no summon and now i met the first boss (Onryoki) again in a side quest and just mopped the floor with him.
Slowly getin gud at this game.

I'm pretty sure revenants change whenever you pray at a shrine.
Its difficult because it demandes mastery of all the various combat techniques and weapons. That said by and large it's seems easier than your standard Souls game in NG but it steps it up big time in twilight missions and NG+
Just killed you and got your spear. It's 150
Ok I'm now dying in a mission where it looks like there aren't many people playing.
3rd Region, NG+, "The Disappearing Ranjatai"
I'm dying at the very beginning in the middle of the place where you spawn, before the stairs on the right of the shrine
Well mission failed then. May I see the stats of that spear?
I'm gonna try forging a native level 320 and equip that

Nah, because if you keep dying they respawn which is how you can farm them.
I found your revenant in the Ginchiyo mission.
Edit: Everything was 150 and +0 to boot.

Defeated your Revenant, Zack. It dropped a few of your armor pieces, all lvl 150

LOL you know those torches you lit on that stage? That was to coat your weapon with fire
Whaat? I thought that was from preventing adds or something like that to spawn.
Hentailover
Member
It's both. You either keep them so they burn the adds, or use them up for damage buff

Had no idea, guess that is what happens when you dont try everything..
How hard is the platinum in this game? Does it require more than one playthrough, NG+ or so?
Wow apart from the name, that spear is completely different from mine. It probably drops my weapons as they were when I found them
The positions of "Fire" and the inheritable skill are the same
